SeaBlue: I see you completed building the hood on the 135g thread, did you find it hard building it and would you do it again? 
It wasn't that bad at all, I had the basic shell of the hood when I purchased the tank and the only thing that I had to do was wire in the MH fixtures. Overall it was a fun project and was really happy the everything worked in the end.
Would I do it again? Well I started planning on building I nice looking hood for the 65g tank over the winter. We shall see how that project goes.
-20g, 65g, 125g and 135g Reef Aquarium. Just call me crazy.
